Flying in the Calm before the Storm...


Crucible's Log
I'm back at the controls... flying this wonderful ship... I didn't get to see KH this layover... I'm worried... wish she'd at least answer my comms. Both Nico and Master Ineucelia told me to step up my recruitment.... something's coming, not sure what... but I prepped my fighter and stuck it in the hold. Nothing I haven't been paid for before...

Hiring...


I've been crawling the cantina's way too much... trying to find talent. Forwarding Nico the groundpounders I notice, trying to find good pilots... I did fine, those cut rate pilots I ran into the other night were nothing to trouble over. But it'd be helpful to be well funded and able to put a squadron in the air....

I had an interesting conversation with J., the one Nico is quite smitten with while sitting here. She was on the comm, munching on strawberries and champagne... I guess the date went pretty well. *chuckle* Those two are quite cute... especially when they think they're hiding it.

Days of weak beer, heavy deathstick smoke, and dingy tables... at least some of the views have been nice. I don't know where KH has been... can't raise her on the comm.... she probably met someone else... time for another beer. Maybe I can find another person to offer a contract to.

Dravis...


What a queer little man... if I ever want to fly anything other then the Crucible I have to renew my pilot's liscence through this guy... Works out of the back of the Mos Eisley cantina... not a bad gig if you can get it I guess. But he has me flying patrols in Tatt space... How boring.... Wait a minute... o good, somebody who things I'm an easy target.... I've done this before boys.... let's dance.

Borrowed...


It's his ship... I guess I shouldn't care when he borrows it. It's really begun to feel like home to me... like mine. But he needs it tonight and it's fine.

We spent some time working on the goggles he'd managed to procure last week. Interesting work... he can't always explain what his modifications are for, or why he needs them but I sliced in several little upgrades that he seemed to appreciate. Lowlight amplification, dimmer switched almost instantaneously, retnia tracking, interactive subdermal mic, fingertip switching. The whole thing is wired and intuitive... a small droid brain in the rim allows adaptive networking and slicing... It's really a piece of work.

He's truly an interesting guy, ex smuggler, ex hair dresser (or so the rumor goes), ex commando, expert with unarmed martial arts... carries a lightsaber but refuses to be called Jedi... I think he's lonely though... I want to call him friend, but he's not ready for that...

Time to head to KB's place... it's my night off after all.

Jabba...


What an ugly slug... I mean good grief, somebody needs to limit his intake some. I can't believe this is the guy I have to impress to get shipping contacts. My certification with the Smuggler's Alliance is going pretty well... but I hate spending this much time away from KB.

I hope she's doing well, I've heard from the grapevine that she's doing quite well and has learned to shoot even better since I last saw her. I wish I could help teach her that... wrapping my arms around her to help her hold her blaster steady... smelling her hair. Of course not much work would be getting done. I need to take a day off.

Sabacc and Taxi service...


Crucible's Log
I picked Noelyci up from Mustafar last night, seems he was too tired to fly. I don't mind playing taxi service... especially with his yacht. But it seemed like a good opportunity to get to know the guy... and since he was tired, to maybe win a few credits off him.

Remind me never to play Sabacc with him again. He took everything I had. Seemed to know when the cards were coming. So much for bonding... although I think he enjoyed himself.

Interrupted transmission...


Crucible's Log
This ship is a complete dream.... luxurius, outfitted extremely well for comfort, with a nice hidden hold for the items I've been tasked to ship. I'm very thankful that there's an exception for this class of ship, earning my certification to fly has been a bit of a struggle. Too bad they won't take my experience out on the outer rim.

I haven't seen KB for awhile... I hope she's safe and doing well. I'll have to drop round her place and check. She had to leave Advent for something with her family, which I understand, as long as I get to see her once in awhile...

...crap, competing smugglers coming in hot.... I gotta go...

An Effort for Permanence...


Crucible's Log
In an effort to make myself more valuable, enough that I won't get recalled... I've been increasing our investment in Amethyst Vale. I hired Z. to decorate and she's emulated the style of the Gallery quite admirably.

I've started making enough that I can take on a small salary, and things with Jabba the Hutt seem to be going quite well. I'm not a fan, but I can deal with him... especially since KB. isn't locked in his massage parlor anymore.

I'm enjoying this bit of stability in my life, I get enough flying time that I don't feel stuck, yet I have a home to come back to. Two if you count her place.... *grin*

Introductions...


Crucible's Log
This is a fine, fine ship, outfitted very well. I'm glad that I've been given the job as it's Captain. I was a bit hesitant being sent by Gran to watch out for Nicolye without taking control, it's one of those assignments I dislike. But I do what they clans tell me. As long as they let me fly.

I can't believe Noelyci has such a fine piece of equipment and yet Nicolye says he was barely making ends meet... I have a feeling that the books have been cooked and this ship being available for my use is the payoff for keeping my observations to myself. Fine by me, I've been smuggling long enough to honor the code. It's nice to speak with someone I know isn't going to put a knife in my back. Noel is fast becoming a friend... though I think he's intensely private in many ways. He misses this ship, I can tell...

He used his contact list to put me in touch with the low level Jabba operatives. I had to reintroduce myself to the Hutts in this system just to make a stab at making a living. Of course he had a favor to ask for me to do for him as well. Seems the daughter of friends of his was being used to pay off old debts. He asked if I could bail her out. I was expecting it to be onerous but when I arrived I found a jewel hiding unsullied in the palace. I did some work for him and got her out.... wierd thing is we ended up walking out with stars in our eyes... the both of us. Now I hope Gran let's me stick around. I'm trying to save up enough to buy a ring.
